Sounds like Raduljica will be here next week. Still will be surprised if Adrien is let go. But he's the only non-guarantee. #twolves

I really hope Flip has a deal lined up or something. One that ideally ships out Bud.

Officially signed to a ten day deal

Good. I'm tired of it looking like a bunch of middle school kids vs. high school kids under the rim. We needed size. Here's the official link from Strib: http://www.startribune.com/sports/blogs/287988231.html

Just in time for Pek 1.0 to be ready to play again.

The problem is he's a worse rebounder and even more slow-footed than Adrien was. Tall doesn't necessarily mean good. I get that we need size and I don't mind the signing in and of itself, but it doesn't do us much good if we can never have more than one big on the floor at a time.

I know nothing about the guy other than he's 7 foot. Adrien was like 6'-7. And it didn't look like Adrien was much of a leaper. They wouldn't have made the move unless they felt it was an upgrade. I'll reserve judgment on the new guy until I see him with my own eyes.

They weren't upgrading from Adrien. They were upgrading from no one. IE: there was no backup center to Dieng. We had PFs trying to play C.

You've got to be kidding!

Initial talk was signing Miroslav R. for rest of the year. But some concerns with his ankle, I'm told. #twolves

Wait, so we dropped a healthy and reasonably productive big who was the one guy that had some toughness on our team for a less proven guy on a gimpy ankle!? Unbelievable.

Well, I certainly hope AB improves fast because he will be getting major playing time now, as I suspect it will take Flip multiple games to integrate Miroslav into the lineup (assuming he can even play on a bad ankle!). I know he had a decent game a couple of nights ago, but I saw the same quick-trigger long 2's from him that he usually takes. A few more went in than usual, but it's such a shitty shot. Him, LaVine, and Young take some of the least efficient shots in basketball.

Nothing to worry about here. The Wolves' crack group of trainers will have him fixed up and ready to go in no time.
